The Federal Reserve Board today announced the issuance of an Order of Prohibition against Christopher J. Woods, a former assistant vice president and institution-affiliated party of the Midwest Bank and Trust Company, Elmwood Park, Illinois.

Mr. Woods, without admitting to any allegations, consented to the issuance of the Order due to his alleged participation in violations of law and unsafe or unsound practices regarding misapplication of bank funds and falsification of the Bank's books and records.
